DeMint, NYT: Daschle’s nomination should be withdrawn (MORE: DASCHLE WITHDRAWS)

In light of reports of Tom Daschle’s numerous tax issues (the failure to pay them, to be exact, not to mention the lobbyist angle), the heat is intensifying on President Obama to withdraw the former Senate leader’s nomination for HHS. Leading Republican Senator Jim DeMint called for it today, and even the NYT – known propaganda rag for the Obama administration – is calling for a withdraw as well, citing Daschle’s tax issues.

Will the President continue to stand by his man and the Senate roll over and confirm Daschle with little to no questions as they did Eric Holder and Tim Geithner? Or will sanity prevail?

Stay tuned …
